Automotive communication networks are evolving rapidly to assist theincrease in bandwidth requirements necessary to support new functionality, interaction betweenmodules and the growing demand for information accessibility. Despite the fact that thesecommunication networks are broadly applied in the automotive industry, the offering ofengineering courses in this area is very limited. To address this gap in the curriculum, a newautomotive communications network course was developed to educate students in ElectricalEngineering (EE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) programs.
